truck rims

got a question. Ok, you know how on trucks the front rims always stick out and on any axels behind the front one they stick in? Why is this? I'm talking about trucks that are at least dulleys and typically commerical.


any ideas?

Sounds like a porno.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand, some are innies, some are outies... :dunno:

Simple.The front wheels are shaped that way to fit over the hubs,which are deeper than car hubs to create more brake surface area[trucks typically use drum brakes all round,with much wider shoes than cars].

On the rear axle,where fitted with dual wheels,the inner wheels are fitted in the same manner as the front wheels,and the outer wheels are fitted in the opposite direction[as the inner wheel is already located over the hub,and the two front faces of the rims must face each other on the studs]

why thank you
